We are always looking for ways to improve our patient’s level of comfort and clinical care, and are thrilled to inform you that we offer “LASER TECHNOLOGY.” The advantages of Laser Dentistry (Waterlase MD) over conventional dental instruments are:
  • Comfort- we can perform many procedures without the drill, fewer shots or no shots.
  • Accuracy, precision and reduced trauma
  • Less post-operative bleeding and swelling
  • Fewer visits required

Comfortable Injections (STA – Single Tooth Anesthesia)
Dr. Reddy doesn’t give traditional shots – She uses “The Wand” instead! The STA System is a computer controlled local anesthetic delivery system. This state-of-the-art system is non-threatening to children and delivers the anesthetic at an optimal flow rate for a comfortable injection. This system allows us to administer local anesthesia to an entire quadrant or just one tooth. No more leaving the dentist’s office without full feeling in your jaw, lips and mouth. STA allows us to virtually remove all the anxiety and discomfort of local anesthesia.

Digital X RAYS
Dental radiographs, also known as dental X-rays, are important diagnostic tools in pediatric dentistry.  Dental radiographs allow the dentist to see and treat problems like tooth decay, orthodontic misalignment, bone injuries, and bone diseases before they worsen.   We offer small digital sensors for those tiny mouths. Digital x-rays are a fraction (less than 80%) of the radiation exposure than traditional x-rays too. We follow the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) guidelines which aim to protect young people from unnecessary X-ray exposure.


Sopro Imaging
SOPROLIFE is a new imaging fluorescence device, free from ultraviolet or ionizing rays, which aids in the diagnosis and treatment of cavities. What’s different about this technology? The auto-fluorescence technology allows us to detect occlusal or interproximal decay, even in its earliest stages. Without SOPROLIFE, early decay can often be missed by doing a cursory visual exam or even with x-rays.

DIAGNOdent - Laser Diagnosis of Early Decay or Caries
DIAGNOdent is the revolutionary new way to find even the smallest areas of tooth decay. By using this new technology, we are able to target and treat all of your small problem areas before they turn into larger issues that require more complicated procedures. Diagnodent operates by means of a laser light. The light is passed via an optical fibre to the area of decay. The decayed area fluoresces, this fluorescence passes back to the probe, and the decay is displayed and indicated visibly.
